What is the one thing 90% of all successful travel and hospitality sellers have in common?
And I define “success” as; they have more prospects, more sales, more arrivals, more profits and more time to enjoy their business, career and family.
The Answer
They all engage in some sort of tourism business and marketing professional development/training on a regular basis. (See below for free travel business and marketing websites)
What if you could be part of that top tier of travel pros, and only had to commit 1 – 2 hours a week to radically increase your sales, profits and career options?
This does not mean you have to read three books every week. If you want to turn your passion for tourism into a fun and profitable business or career, you must improve your knowledge on an ongoing basis because marketing tourism with the Internet and technology is always changing.
Since over 94% travel is researched online, you need understand and apply what you learn or you won’t even be in the game…

Tourism Marketing is Constantly Changing
Let’s face it; things in the world of tourism marketing are constantly changing. Right?
I am as much a student as I am a teacher to learn what I can in technology, Internet marketing, social media, and so much more. And I certainly don’t know everything.
That’s why I am constantly interviewing top experts with special skills you and I both need. I learn from the experts, and then get to share it and help you. Everybody wins.
How many hours a week do you think really successful business people, sports stars or pilots invest in their profession every week? Do you think they have coaches advising them on best business practices or giving them regular training? Of course they do. That’s why they are successful, usually wealthy and if they are a pilot, still alive.
It took me a lot of study and practice to learn to fly. The cost of not succeeding was way to great.
Success Secrets of Adult Learning
Adult learning research confirms that you can learn and excel at anything with a regular investment of time, good role models and applying what you learn. I can predict that if you don’t invest in your tourism professional development, you will fall way behind and struggle with your business. You do not have to do that.

PS I just got back from Southern California helping my 83 old mom who is recovering from full knee replacement surgery. Ouch! She is doing mostly OK, but it is hard setting up care giving, rehabilitation and medication help from far away. That’s why I was delayed getting out my weekly Tourism Business & Marketing TV tip of the week. Thanks for your understanding.
PPS If you like the advice I have been giving you, you will really love my Tourism Marketing Success guide and new courses coming soon.

hello Tim,
I am looking for and online booking engine that is not to complicated for the traveler and not to expensive for us. can you suggest something that might work for my clients?
Thanks so much,
Maryella
That’s a great question Maryella.
Online booking engines come in many shapes, sizes and costs. Some have large upfront fees, some with smaller upfront fees but with larger transactional fees. If you are doing a large volume yet, this is the way to go.
Much has changed and improved in booking engines. I need to revisit this topic and report on it in the future so I can you and others accurate info.
I have recommend Adventure Engine.com for my adventure travel related tour operators and travel agents in the past. I have some podcast audio interviews with Amber Hayes founder of Adventure Engine that will help you determine good elements to look for in a system.
Thanks for listening, watching and keep your great questions coming.
With gratitude, Tourism Tim
DEAR SIR
I AM ONE OF THE TRAVEL AGENT BUSSENESS MAN AND I HAVE SAME DEFICALITY FOR THE MARKIATING IN YEMEN THE SETUATION OF THE CANTRY IS BAD AND NO IT IS COMITED BY THE AGENT IN THE CALANGENT IN BUSENESS SO I WANT TO ADVISE ME HOW TO IMPROV MYSALESS
I am so sorry Adil that there is turmoil in your country that is causing suffering to your travel agent business. Political, social, military, theft, murders, drug dealer, food problems, etc. are problem that has and will always impact tourism destinations world wide. Luckily most of this passes in time or people adapt.
But until it does, you do need to
emphasize in all your marketing communication
what you are doing to help insure to the best of your ability, what you are doing to protect the safety and security of your clients. Communicate in your website, and via videos and articles your recommendation on:
- which tourist attractions are safer and which to avoid
- what your company and tour operators do to help insure safety
- Enhance safety by providing body guards if necessary
- Be the expert: provide regular updates on how to travel safely to Yemen
- Get your clients to share testimonials on specifically their safety and security while on your trips you recommended.
I am sure there are safer regions in Yemen more than others, right? Make sure you are communicating this to your past and future clients.
Mexico for the last 5 years is undergoing a drug war with 10′s of 1000′s of people being murdered. 90% of this drug war is focused on the border regions. Mexico has focused their tourism marketing on the many other regions of Mexico and inspite of the many murders, tourism is strong in non border regions.
Follow Mexico tourism’s lead, be the expert on Yemen tourism safety and secrutiry and show your clients the parts of Yemen that are safer.
May peace, prosperity and political stability be with you.
dear sir

YOUR ADIL ALKERSHI
